Lemon and vinegar are natural methods by which flies and gnats can be eliminated. It is important to keep food in closed containers and remove crumbs and orts from counters and floors. Cleaning bathroom, kitchen, and pantry areas with lemon and vinegar leaves refreshing smells and serves as effective insect-dispersers.
